Hello, I have a hobby gardening site and have nine natural ways to get rid of snails which may interest you. There are photos and simple instructions for each solution. http://www.sustainable-gardening-tips.com/garden-snails.html There are many different ideas around and some work better than others depending on your climate and the design of your garden to name just a couple. At this time of year you will need to have some clever ways to stop them. I really don't like commercial baits as they can cause death and / or illness in other innocent pets, birds and animals. Please have a look and choose from the nine options and try to eliminate them sustainably. Kind regards Robyn (Gardener and Permaculturist)
